Who says nothing's free any-more?
Playing at a free outdoor night
concert April 27 will be the
Violent Femmes. The concert
will be sponsored by SUC and
WESN.
Former Student Union Com-missioner
Dave Hawkins said the
three-piece band from Milwau-kee,
Wisconsin uses melodies
and acoustical arrangements
reminiscent of 1960's music. He
said the group employs simple
musical styles to counter-act the
rising tide of techno-pop groups.
SUC Commissioner Randy Sin-gle
said the group uses recurring
themes like teenage sexual
frustration in their songs.
The Violent Femmes have one
album, simply titled Violent
Femmes, plus one EP (extended
play) record. Hawkins said a new
album by the "wild and original"
group is coming.
Three years ago the group was
discovered by Chrissie Hynde,
lead vocalist with the Pretenders.
The band was playing on a street
corner, Hynde noticed them, and
proceeded to ask them to open for
the Pretenders that evening.
Since then, the Violent Fem-mes
have been accumulating
both national and international
acclaim and exposure. The band
just recently toured Australia,
and are now on their first Euro-pean
tour.
Hawkins said he thought the
Violent Femmes would be an in-teresting
band to bring to Wesley-an.
"Right now, the 'Femmes' are
very popular," Hawkins said.
"Their music is both controver-sial
and influential."
Hawkins worked with Single
and WESN Station Manager Sar-ah
Davies to bring the band to
IWU. The $2,000 concert cost will
be divided between SUC and
WESN.
Davies said the concert would
be "a golden opportunity" for
WESN publicity. She also men-tioned
that the radio station has
been a "strong supporter" of the
group in the past.
The tentative opening act for
the Violent Femmes will be the
Droogs, a band from DeKalb, Illi-nois.
Hawkins said the Droogs
play both new wave originals and
cover versions, and added that

Evelyn awaits 'the finishing touch'
By Greg Tejeda
Although it will be put to its
first use within a couple of weeks,
the Evelyn Chapel will probably
not be thoroughly completed until
mid-August, according to Busi-ness
Manager Ken Browning. De-lay
has been caused by various
factors, ranging from shipments
of construction materials, to the
weather.
Browning states that the chapel
should be usable by May 5, the of-ficial
consecration date. He adds
"There will be a wedding, before-hand,
however, and it (the
chapel) will not quite be com-pleted.
For instance, the pews
won't be in, so we will probably
have to use folding chairs."
Other areas of the chapel that
still require work are the sanc-tuary,
the wood floor, and the
landscaping. "We're hoping to
get the landscaping done in the
spring, which is the ideal time to
do it," Browning says.
Browning continues by stating
that the floor should be installed
by Commencement, but adds that
carpeting will come later. The
day after Commencement will
see the arrival of the organ,
which is being shipped in pieces
from Quebec and will be assembl-ed
here.
"The organ will need to be voic-ed
(fine-tuned), and ideally, the
place should be completed when
the organ is voiced," Browning
states. The voicing process takes
between two and two and a half
weeks to complete. Browning
states, "There's a French guy
who goes all over the world and
does nothing but voice organs,
and his time is very valuable. As
a result, it will be a while before
he gets to us." After voicing the
organ, the pews will be installed,
and then the chapel should be
complete. This should occur
around the middle of August.
Browning states, however, "The
place should look complete by the
first of June."
Browning feels that some of
this work would have been com-pleted,
had there not been some
Chapel
Update
weather delays. "We had a, 1-2
week delay due to the recent
heavy snow-storm. The strong
winds blew snow under the dome,
which soaked the insulation. As a
result, the entire area had to be
redone." Browning adds, "We
had previously thought that the
dome was airtight. We'd rather
learn about this now, than later."
There have also been delays in
receiving shipments of building
materials. Browning states, "We
are receiving materials from all
over." For example, the windows
are being shipped from Iowa, the
bricks are Pennsylvanian, and
the limestone is from Indiana.
The chapel's total cost will be
approximately 1.7 million dol-lars,
which is close to the original
estimate of 1.5 million. According
to Browning," Things arose that
altered costs; some saving
money, some costing." One of
these occurred when the Hedding
Bell was sent to be refitted. "We
discovered a hairline crack in it.
As a result, we had to buy a new
bell," Browning notes.
The chapel's outward appear-ance
has attracted much atten-tion
from students and according
to Browning, "We were looking
for a design with a tradtional
style . . . to fit the campus. The
reddish brick and arched win-dows
all reflect a certain
Georgian influence."
Browning adds, "the architect
was carefully chosen to reflect
this influence. He (Ben Leist) did
research into the principles of
Methodism. As a result, there is a
certain Moravian influence as it
is simple and functional."
"Inside," Browning states,
"the building, while still tradi-tional,
will reflect a certain
modern influence."
The building will be very
energy efficient as it will contain
such features as solar grey glass
to reflect heat, and gas-fired
pulse boilers. Browning summar-izes
the situation by stating,
"Maybe there are no solar panels
on the building, but it is still very
efficient."

FAB presents tentative budget
By Andy Best
Much of the Student Senate
meeting last Sunday centered on
the tentative budget for next
year, which the Financial Ad-visory
Board initially presented
at the meeting. Much of the
discussion on the budget centered
on the topic of giving senators ad-ditional
budgetary information.
A result of this discussion was
the approval of a motion re-questing
a three-item sheet that
would assist senators in looking
over the tentative budget. The
items on this sheet would consist
of the amounts of money which
committees asked for this year,
how much they were budgeted,
and how much they were given
last year.
Steve Johnson said that such in-formation
would "help senators
in making an educated decision"
concerning the budget, but FAB
chairperson and Treasurer Lisa
Gosker was cautious, feeling that
the three-item sheet may be used
"as a tool to recreate what FAB
has set up."
Others who agreed with Gosker
expressed their concern that us-ing
just the three amounts would
be dangerous.
"We have to be careful with
this, since the committees are
each doing something different,"
said FAB senator Mary Ellen
Woodtli.
Issues and Programming Com-missioner
Kevin Maffett agreed
that the amounts on the sheet
would be only "paper figures,"
but he added that the figures will
allow senators to raise questions.
Senate President Dave Lautz was
in favor of the idea, but he em-phasized
that it is important for
the senators to do research.
Gosker requested that the
senators come prepared for the
next meeting, when senate will
further discuss the tentative
budget. She and other FAB mem-bers
told senators that they
should go to FAB anytime they
had questions.
Senators absent from the meet-ing
were: Jessica Curtis,
Ferguson; Holly Nelson, Gulick;
Deb Riggert, Munsell; Mike
Baltz, Fiji; Tami Jackson, SAI.
Sponsors Spring Fling
For those students who aren't
going home for Easter this
weekend, things are not as bleak
as they seem. Starting with din-ner
on Saturday night will be
Saga's annual Spring Fling.
The festivities begin with an
outdoor picnic featuring hot dogs,
hamburgers, relish trays and
brownies. It will be held at the
usual meal time and, in case of
rain, will be served in the com-mons.
In the evening, Saga will
present the motion pictures
"Private Benjamin" and
"Psycho II" in the Main Lounge.
"Private Benjamin" will be
shown first at 8 p.m. Pop and pop-corn
will be provided free of
charge.
The purpose of the Spring Fling
is merely to do something nice for
the students. According to man-ager
Steve Racki, "This isn't
something we have to do."
